Honda Civic Hatchback (95-01) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Civic is a long-running model name for Honda, but the late 1990s version had the most extensive range ever. Built in Swindon and co-developed with Rover, Honda’s version of the Rover 400 enjoys better residual values. As such, Civic is not a cheap used car choice, but ride and refinement are among the best in the class, engines are smooth and quiet, and excellent Honda reliability gives peace of mind for a great used car proposition

Running costs

Not especially cheap to buy, but it does seem to hold its value well if looked after. Parts and insurance can be a bit expensive, but it's economical and servicing costs are otherwise reasonable.
